USTR to Update Section 301 Exclusions Due to 2022 HTS Update
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative will update three Section 301 tariff product exclusions in order to align the exclusions with changes made to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule on Jan. 27, USTR said in a notice posted to the agency website Jan. 25. The U.S. will implement broad changes to the HTS on Jan. 27, following amendments to the World Customs Organization's Harmonized System tariff nomenclature (see 2112230046).

The notice "conforms three existing product exclusions with the January 27, 2022 changes to 10-digit statistical reporting categories in the HTSUS," USTR said. "In particular, the Annex makes a technical amendment to U.S. notes 20(sss)(i)(1), 20(sss)(iii)(14), and 20(iii)(15) to subchapter III of chapter 99." Those changes also take effect Jan. 27.
